  1. My vape journey is still ongoing, meaning that I'm not a "full-time" vaper yet… so many obstacles…

    In 2017 I decided to give vaping a try. I bought an Eleaf Pico starter kit and some 12ml juice. But things went bad. I was very thirsty, I mean extremely thirsty. I could drink about 1.5l of water in 1 1/2 hours and still crave water. My lips and tongue were on fire, and my nose and eyes were starting to dehydrate. When I started to get sores, I went back to cigarettes, and things went back to normal.

    I've been switching from vaping to smoking on and off, never really being able to commit to vaping because of the buccal issues. I identified that I could be PG intolerant, so I switched to 100% VG and had to learn to DIY a little. This helped a lot. I had a nice box mod and a pretty good sub-ohm tank. But it still wasn't doing the trick. I still had issues with my lips and tongue. I will also admit that the craving for a cigarette was sometimes still overwhelming.
    So I've just switched things up a bit. I'm still on a DIY high VG juice, but instead of a big sub-ohm tank, have gone to a MTL. This seems to be really good for the moment (2 days in), my lips and tongue are coming back to normal again.

    I do hope that I won't have any more issues with extreme mouth dehydration (if that's what is was?). It is pretty frustrating. Next month in France is the "Mois sans tabac", which I joined and will be receiving a little kit. I don't know if anyone has ever had any bad experiences like this with vaping, if so, please share tips. Hopefully, this new set up will do the trick and I'll be able to be cigarette free! I can't wait to say that I'm not a smoker any longer.

  2. I'm 67 and have been smoking for 40 years. When I started smoking I worked as a credit controller in a huge office with a couple of hundred people, no separate offices just hundreds of us puffing away at our desks ashtrays full of ash and butts. Everyone smoked, and when I retired after many jobs I became a much heavier smoker on White Ox the strongest black roll your own tobacco in Australia. When the government tax pushed the cost of smoking up to $150-200 a fortnight on a pension I was ready to vape then luckily a neighbour put me on to vaping which I had never heard much about. That was two months ago and I quit smoking overnight.

  3. I have been vaping for 7 years and haven't had a cigarette in almost 5 years. Things have changed alot from when I first started. I remember my first vape was an ego c pen with a cart with the old school silica wicks. I even remember when I got an itaste 134 and thought I was cool vaping at 12 watts. Its been a crazy journey to see how fast the industry has evolved in such a short time.

  4. Hey Dave I started vaping 3 years ago. I was smoking ciagrillos and my brother was like "Hey dude you need to start vaping". I was hesitant at first but he broke me down and i bought a smok stick v8. From there i fell in love with it and now i have several mods and tanks. I feel so much better than when i was smoking regular tobacco. I always now work at a Vape shop. Before working at Vape Boss i was work for a warehouse doing Third Party Shipping. I was constantly miserable and always on my phone working which took away time with my son. Now I happy at my job and my bosses who are the owners of the shop love my son and give me time to spend with him. Vaping has changed my life in more ways then just my health. I am so happy the way my life is now and frankly i have to thank vaping for part of it.

  5. I started vaping (5 yrs ago) because it was cruel to blow 2nd hand cigarette smoke in the vicinity of a stray kitten I adopted off the street. Who saved who?

  6. I was used to seeing people vaping around me while I’m smoking, but then one day, one of the interns in our bank where I work told me “Sir Louie, have you ever tried vaping?” .. and I plainly said “No” but I was very curious about it. So I asked him like why vape when it’s just the same as smoking, his reason to me was like “ … for your health. It’s whole lotta better than smoking!” He told me that in a very enthusiastic way, and he introduced me to Smok Nord, that was my first device. I was very skeptical at first, but our intern helped me understand mostly about everything I know now with vaping. And yeah, I may smoke sometimes, mostly after meals, but most of the time I have my Aegis Boost with me whenever I feel the urge to smoke. And your channel introduced me the very foundation and Idea on why smokers should start vaping. Hope more people will switch to vaping coz it really helped my addiction from cigarettes. Also, I love your contents, I mean the channel and mostly the intro “ Hi, Dave here from Dashvapes… “ Hahaha more power to your stores and channel!

  7. One day, somewhere in September of 2013, i was out of my smokes, the little moods cigars. I was near a small shopping mall where I seldom buy my smokes. So I went inside the cigarette shop. That shop was specialized and I do remember that I bought special expensive cigars in the past over there once. So In my mind it was always something of a special shop. So again I wanted something different and in my mind I thought maybe they have electric cigarettes there, lets try it. I never Seen one, touched one, let alone vaped one.

    Well turns out they had Flavor Vapes, Colorful, a bit bigger then a cigarette. They had multiple flavors. So i bought a tobacco one and a menthol one. In the car I immediately opened the packaging and tried them. It wasn't amazing, actually it wasn't even close to smoking……However my mind said, that it wasn't bad for being a fake cigarette. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't awful.

    And my brain immediately said, you need a bigger one, it will give more satisfaction. So that same day, while vaping my Flavor Vape (that started to grow on me more and more) I went to the Internet and then it was like……………WOW. So much choices, and what is that youtuber doing? tasting liquids, what soo many liquids, so many devices?????

    So I found a specialized vaping webshop and got online help from the woman who owned it. She recommended the Kangertech MT3S tanks (before they where called evod) with those spinner batteries. So I bought two of both so I always had a full battery. They offered some cheap Toko?? liquids. And I was done. The day they came in, I still hadn't touched the cigars I had bought that other day. The toko juices where bad. but I already found out I could experiment with making my own juice. So short after I got some stuff in from clubderdampfer and I vaped that for over a year (tobacco No.13). Then I found Inawera's Gold Ducat and I am vaping that for over 5 years now (of course sometimes some other flavors, but there is always a Gold Ducat Kayfun near me).

  8. I smoked outside on our patio in a condo complex where the smoke would waft up to the apartment above us. I was the kind of smoker who worried about bothering people with the smoke from my cigarettes. One day my upstairs neighbour screamed from her balcony something about “Effing cigarette smoke!” and slammed her sliding door shut. That was it, I made a plan to visit a local vape shop with the idea of buying an e-cig to use on my patio only, so as not to bother my neighbour. I’ll never forget walking out of that shop with a Joyetech eGo ONE and a bottle of 18mg tobacco flavour liquid because I didn’t want to vape “those fruit flavours”.

    I duel used until I had only one cigarette left in my pack. It was night time and because I couldn’t be bothered to head out to buy a pack of cigs I stuck with the e-cig thinking I’d buy a fresh pack of smokes in the morning. Didn’t happen, not that day or the next. After smoking a pack a day for over 40 years I became an accidental quitter. I had tried several times to quit in the past – gum, patches etc but failed each time and with each failed attempt I felt worse about myself.

    I haven’t had a cigarette in 5 years. Me, the person who loved smoking! Like the majority who have similar stories, I moved away from tobacco flavoured eliquids to fruit flavours about 3 months into my vaping journey.

    This 62-year-old never imagined I’d break free from smoking. But I did and haven’t looked back. I feel better, my clothes don’t smell of smoke and my fingers are no longer a ghastly shade of yellow.

    I suppose in some way my angry neighbour played a role in my quitting smoking. Have I thanked her? Nope. I’ve come to realize she’s just an angry person. She probably thinks vaping is worse than smoking. I know better. And that’s good enough for me.

  9. ? Dave, over a decade ago my wife smoked a lot and I still have never smoked at all but I saw a blister pack hanging on the wall and I store that pad a cartomizer that's screwed onto a battery that looked like a cigarette with a light on the end and it was cheap and I lied just clicked in my head. My wife had tried the patch the gum and other things that did not work to quit smoking and I thought this would feel the habit of holding something. It came into flavors and I said it's worth a shot it was cheap. She tried but not very hard so I got a second one and I tried it because it was interesting and it helped to encourage her and it worked. So much I even almost opened my own shop 10 years ago but was scared with the economy on the fence and not knowing which way this would go. Then the art of vaping the sport of vaping all begin to get popular more flavors came along and I just enjoyed the art and hobby of vaping so here we are today collecting all these unique devices I still use zero Nic flavored juices and she does too and has been quit smoking for years. Probably saved her life she is a small girl Honey Smoked a lot and we never had children possibly because of it the doctor said she would never carry to term and she never did but she and I are still here we're both 50 years old enjoying life day by day. We watched you and YouTube a lot. Keep up the good work and remember two best days in your life, the day you were born and the day you figure out why.

  10. Dave you are a True Talent what a wonderful job you do for Dash Vapes as well as our community keep us informed and educated your short form concise videos are a pleasure to view. Some times people can see that you will fit what they need. Keep up the great work Dave.

  11. When I went to my first NA meeting I saw some people vaping, at the time I made fun of them being more hooked to nicotine than I was. Yeah I was a fool back then. But the longer I was clean the more I detested the smell and routine of smoking, it felt like my last connection with drugs. So one day shortly after being one year clean I asked my sponsor (one of the people I made fun of for vaping and not smoking) everything about vaping and he gave me his old device, some coils and a big bottle of his diy juice. Never touched a cigarette again since then.

  12. I found out about vaping by wanting to do anything to quit smoking in college. I googled some stuff, and found an “e-shisha” online from UK store. I got a 10 ML bottle of Green apple 18 MG and a simple pen style tank with a clearomizer and was off to the races. 9 years later I am still smoke free and loving every minute of it. I am great full as ever for that simple kit that opened me to a world full of great people, great times, and healthy living. #ShareYourJourney

  14. Vaping has given me an alternative for years now. As much as i love vaping i can go months without and soon i think I'll be a non smoker for good.

    First vape was a kanger subox! In turquoise ?

  15. congratulations on the 5 years 🙂 weirdly i found out about vapes outside a hospital a old lady was vaping ….we got chatting …..got home i had to do some research ……found a vape shop …..found out how difficult it was to get nicotine and was put off……..all sounded a bit odd …….ciggies when up again …….back to the research …….finally found another vape shop that helped …..im now smoke free and so is my other half for 2 years …….so glad i did the research vapes are viewed in australia as not right and a poor choice thru misinformation ……all doctors will tell you that it is worse than smoking …sigh …..so glad i did some more digging and found a good vape shop 🙂

  16. Thanks for sharing Dave great storyreally pleased for you and be very proud of yourself for its your hard work and dedication that's got to where you are.
    My first real memory of vaping was about 2 months before I started when I went to buy a new TV and sitting at the desk with the salesman filling out the paperwork he had one sat on the table I had a basic idea what it was but asked him about it telling me how it changed is life has he had been a chain smoker and it was the only thing that worked for him which stuck with me to the point of me 2 months later starting vaping and quitting smoking so in a way he sold me 2 things that day a TV and a vape

  17. yeah for me vaping is not really a fun good story
    i started vaping in 7th grade because all of my friends were doing it
    my first vape was a smok x8 that my mom found just 3 days after i got it
    then after some time i got an ijust 3 i used that for a while and later on sold it to some kid
    i also got into lots of trobule in school i got caught like 3 or 4 times later on i switched schools to start a new chapter in my life and change my friend circle into better people
    now i am in 9th grade with an exeed grip plus and i am on my way to quitting i am tired of spending money and hiding my addiction so every bottle of e liquid i buy i buy with less and less nicotine
    i used to vape 100mg (i know it sound like a crazy amount but in my area alot of teens have either tried it or vape that much) now i am on 20mg and continuing my path to quitting
    wish me luck

  18. Actually my son turned me on to vaping, I was smoking pipes and cigars ( which I still do once and awhile-old habits dies hard). I am probably a lot older than most of you but as someone once told me – you are NEVER too old to learn something new.!

  19. This is bad and I'm sorry about the underage vaping. But my first learning about a vape was freshman yeah in highschool. I saw a buddy blow some smoke out and I was verry interested on how this non burning thing put off smoke. I'm thankful for him letting me hit his juul though because without it I never would've stopped smoking cigarettes. I'm glad I started vaping underage because over the years I've cut down my nic strength to 6 mg of nicotine strength when starting and staying with 50 nic for about 2 years. Now here I am 4 years later barely vaping. Only enjoying the tricks 🙂

  20.
